Qiming 1158

Chapter 258 The Han people are about to rise again?
In fact, until a few days before the New Year's Day, Wanyan Liang had not received any specific news about the battle situation on Wanyan's side.

How did Wanyan A-lin play?
This is undoubtedly a very tormenting thing for Wanyan Liang, who stipulates that Wanyan Alin must solve the problem before the new year.

The messengers were sent out wave after wave, but no one brought back the battle situation on the front line.

It was not until the third day of the first month of the new year that the exact information was finally delivered to Wanyan Liang.

This is also thanks to the retreating speed and his more than 3000 subordinates who returned from defeat, they brought accurate news.

Wanyan A-lin was defeated and the main force was destroyed. With all his strength, Kui Suu was only able to save most of the [-] troops under his command and come back alive. The rest is really hard to say.

Wanyan's life or death is unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown, but according to the analysis, there is a high probability that he is already dead.

This wave of expeditions to the south had completely failed, and was defeated by the Hebei Bandit Army.

After the news was sent to the Central Capital, it immediately caused a violent shock in the entire Jinting. From Wanyanliang down to a district official, everyone felt the biting cold wind digging into the body along the collar of the shirt. The whole is completely cool.

[-] cavalry, defeated?
A counter-insurgent army comparable to [-] infantry troops and [-] elite cavalry, so defeated?

An elite cavalry comparable to a strategic force, so defeated?

Still defeated so badly, the main force was destroyed, and only less than 4000 people came back?

How can it be?

Could it be said that the time goes back a few decades ago, and the Yue family army, which once made countless Jin army generals cry and be overwhelmed, has returned?

The only terrifying army in the entire Song Kingdom that can make the Jin army feel fearful and at a loss is the Yue family army. Are they back?
Impossible, it wasn't them who came back, but an army called Shengjie Army emerged from the sky, and defeated the cavalry led by Wanyan Alin in a head-to-head confrontation.

The head-on defeat was not by any means, it was really a head-to-head defeat of the terrifying iron cavalry unit, completely destroying the iron cavalry unit.

A terrifying army, a group of terrifying enemies, they are in Zhending Mansion, and they are about to sweep across the whole Hebei, a real threat to the Central Capital.

How many years have passed, has the Han army finally returned to Hebei, and even reached the Yanyun area?

Wanyanliang didn't want to believe it, so he fiercely asked about the speed of escape.

"Is it true? You didn't lie to me? You dare to tell a lie, and I will kill you!"

Leaving the speed was frightened and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty's lesson, the criminals really don't dare to lie! The bandit army is really strong and morale is strong, and our army is really invincible!"

Seeing the cowardly appearance of Leaving Speed, Wanyan Liang quickly reacted, knowing that what she must do now is to block the news.

But it was too late when he reacted. The news had already spread all over the court, and many people had even spread it outside the court, and he couldn't control it.

Wanyan Liang was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do, and he felt even more terrified.

He thought that [-] cavalry and even a thousand heavy cavalry, even if they attacked Song from the south, could be regarded as the main force all the way, not to mention a small rebel bandit.

But he was wrong. It seemed that he was not just facing a small group of thieves, but an extremely powerful and threatening terrifying rebel army with hundreds of thousands of troops.

This rebel army won successive victories in Shandong and Hebei, swept away Jinting's army, government, and Jurchen population in Shandong and Hebei, causing Jinting to suffer unimaginably huge losses.

Now they control Shandong and Hebei, and they are likely to continue to march north and west. The goal is to overthrow Ginting's rule, not just to eat a meal.

broken.

Wanyanliang suddenly felt that neither he nor the imperial court of the Jin Kingdom underestimated this rebel army. This rebel army was not an ordinary thief, and the owner of this rebel army was enough to shake the foundation of Jin Ting's rule.

Although he felt that he did not underestimate the other party - he had already dispatched a powerful strategic force, so how could he underestimate it?
But the situation took a turn for the worse.

Shandong fell, Hebei fell, and the central capital was in front of the rebels. As long as the rebels continued their northern expedition, it would not take a month to enter the Yanyun area, once again challenging the major strategic goals that the emperors of the Later Zhou and Northern Song dynasties failed to achieve.

Are the Han Chinese going to rise again?
Wanyanliang was not someone who would panic so easily. After experiencing the incident of killing his brother and seizing the throne and cleaning the clan, Wanyanliang's psychological quality was still very good.

Generally, unless there is a real threat, he will not panic.

However, this time, he truly felt the existence of a real threat, and was a little panicked.

The defeat of the First World War was not only the loss of Jin Guo's strength.

It is a terrible thing to bring a huge drop in international prestige to the Jin Kingdom. Once this matter is known to the Western Xia, Goryeo, Mongolian grasslands and even the Southern Song Dynasty, how will they react?

More importantly, his popularity of Wanyanliang will also decline, his political power and status may be unstable, and his political enemies are likely to take this opportunity to attack him, making him face a very bad situation.

The political situation that has finally been stabilized since the emperor's career for more than ten years will also experience huge turbulence. Those opponents who have been suppressed by him in the past are likely to take the opportunity to make trouble and make him at a loss.

Before, he asked Liang Jun to investigate the identities of those who spoke to him by the Empress Dowager, and found that it was not only the Jurchen nobles, but also the Khitan and Han nobles.

This group of people included figures from all aspects of the entire court, and it was not a faction that made their own decisions, which made Wanyan Liang realize that his plan to conquer the Song Dynasty in the south was really unpopular.

Originally, he could rely on the prestige he had gained from killing for many years to forcibly promote this matter, and then clean up the court after dominating the world. However, the defeat of the army has damaged his prestige, and the debate on whether to go south has returned to the table again.

Wanyanliang deeply felt the crisis approaching.

He must make a tough response as soon as possible, express his tough and not depressed attitude, otherwise it will make people feel that there is an opportunity.

Especially those clans.

He is a strong emperor, and a strong emperor must not show his cowardice. Once he shows his cowardice, the situation will collapse completely!
In order to deal with the crisis, Wanyanliang decided to strike first.

First of all, he put all the responsibility for the defeat on Wanyan Alin, ordered to take back all the honors and titles of Wanyan Alin, and also put his family in prison, executed all the men in Wanyan Alin's house, and released all the women. Sell.

The lightning strike made the opposition forces in the North that were about to move stunned for a moment. After feeling the threat from Wanyan Liang, these people did not dare to jump around for the time being.

The terrifying deterrence accumulated over the years of killing is not so easy to dissipate for a while.

Later, Wanyanliang used the reason of "failed to help the coach to tide over the difficulties", and would leave the quick-demotion as a punishment to show his attitude towards things and people.

But everyone felt Wanyanliang's attitude of sharpening his knives, the attitude of threatening the ministers not to talk nonsense.

The ministers were shocked, and quite a few people dared not say anything.

But Wanyanliang knew that this attitude could not deter everyone.

The nationwide mobilization of the Southern Expedition cannot be delayed, it must be carried out quickly, and more troops must be mobilized to gather in the Central Capital as soon as possible, otherwise not only will he be in danger, but Jin Guo will also be in danger.

At the critical moment, Wanyan Liang came to his own judgment.

And quickly convened important ministers and old ministers to participate in the imperial meeting to discuss this matter together.

After making this decision, Wanyan Liang suddenly discovered an undiscovered beauty.

It is true that the situation is severe, and there is no slack, but because of this situation, his personal crisis is tied to the national crisis of Jin Guo.

His own core interests and the core interests of his ministers have been unified like never before. At least in the matter of suppressing the rebellion, no one will object.

Because if they oppose it again, the rebels will really come to Zhongdu. Isn't that the collapse of the Jin Kingdom?

Jin Guo is finished, who can be better?

Contradictions between rulers and ministers have been suppressed by unprecedented crises.

This is an unexpected gain.

After Wanyanliang realized this, he also found an opportunity for the Jedi to turn around. If he handled it properly, this crisis would be a godsend for him to completely consolidate his position of power.

Wanyan Liang had some ideas.
